From my personal library. I do not have the first book so I cannot compare this second book to that one, but I do not remember this book being much help in my quest to entertain kids at Vacation Bible School and in other arenas or functions. They sound good on paper, but some appear to be somewhat complicated in nature or just not practical to try. At the end of the day, even back 30 years ago, the question is what will entertain "safely" kids on any given afternoon or evening. Those games are hard to come by.
